"Rice Fields from Space"

Rice Fields from Space is my latest painting. It is another in my current series using satellite images as the subject matter. The subject for this painting is a location in the region of rice fields north of Sacramento, California. The mosaic-like pattern formed by the rice fields interspersed with natural drainage and highways is what attracted me to this particular image.

Unfortunately, the iridescent paint in the painting which makes it more visually interesting does not show well in the photo. I'll have to work at producing some photos or animation that give a better look at that aspect of the painting.
